Nice simplification! Queued for testing and review, thank you!

I wordsmithed the commit log and merged in the RCU-bh and RCU checks
to rcu_sync_is_idle(), with the result shown below. Does that work
OK, or did I mess something up?

Thanx, Paul

rcu/sync: Kill rcu_sync_type/gp_type

Now that the RCU flavors have been consolidated, rcu_sync_type makes no
sense because none of internal update functions aside from .held() depend
on gp_type. This commit therefore removes this field and consolidates
the relevant code.
